# Withdrawals

Use withdrawals to move USDC from a Kage wallet to an external Polygon address, such as MetaMask or an exchange deposit address.

### **Withdrawal Flow**

1. Open the user menu in the upper-right corner.
2. Select **Withdraw**.
3. Choose the wallet to withdraw from.
4. Enter the destination Polygon address.
5. Enter the withdrawal amount.
6. Confirm the withdrawal.
7. Wait for asynchronous processing.

The withdrawal dialog shows processing status and retry progress when applicable.

### **Withdrawal Statuses**

| **Status**       | **Meaning**                                                     | **Notes**                                     |
| ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| pending          | Backend record created; transaction has not been broadcast yet. | Initial state.                                |
| submitted        | On-chain transaction has been broadcast.                        | Usually confirms in 5 to 30 seconds.          |
| mined            | On-chain confirmation completed.                                | Withdrawal succeeded.                         |
| failed\_retrying | On-chain call failed and the backend is retrying.               | Up to 5 attempts with longer retry intervals. |
| failed\_final    | All retries failed.                                             | Contact support.                              |

Withdrawals can take from a few minutes up to about an hour when retries are needed. If you close the page, backend processing continues. Reopen the withdrawal dialog later to view status.

### **Address Safety**

Only withdraw to a valid EVM-compatible Polygon address. These addresses start with 0x and are 42 characters long.

> *Warning: If you withdraw to the wrong address, funds may be permanently lost. For a new destination, send a small test amount first.*
